From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were  I have not seen
As others saw  I could not bring
My passions from a common spring 
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow  I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone 
And all I lov'd  I lov'd alone.

From childhood's hour I have not been

From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow  I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone 
And all I lov'd  I lov'd alone.
